Bill > HB05324

This bill proposes to modify section 20-332b of the general statutes to establish a uniform skilled-trade hiring ratio, specifically setting the ratio at one apprentice per one licensed professional. In practical terms, this means that for every licensed tradesperson (such as an electrician, plumber, or other skilled trade professional), employers would be permitted to hire one apprentice. The bill aims to create a standardized approach to apprenticeship hiring across skilled trades, potentially making it easier for employers to bring in and train new workers while ensuring a consistent level of supervision and skill development. By establishing a single, straightforward ratio, the legislation seeks to simplify hiring practices and potentially increase opportunities for apprentices in various skilled trade professions.
